Wanderers’ Papa Johns Trophy last 32 tie against Barrow will take place at the UniBol on Tuesday, November 22 (KO 7:45pm), the club has confirmed.

The match sees Whites boss Ian Evatt come up against his former club, who he guided to promotion from the National League in 2020.

He left Holker Street the following summer to take up the vacant managerial position at Bolton following Keith Hill's departure.

Wanderers were guaranteed a home tie after finishing top of Group B following wins against Crewe Alexandra and Leeds United Under-21s.

They also drew against Tranmere Rovers in the group stage but missed out on a bonus point after losing on penalties.

The competition remains regionalised at this stage, with separate sections for northern and southern teams.

Evatt’s men reached the last 16 in last season’s competition, missing out on a place in the quarter-final following a late 1-0 defeat at Hartlepool.

Tickets are now on sale to season ticket holders and club members, and are priced at £10 for adults and £5 for over-65s and under-18s.

Supporters can purchase their tickets online or via the ticket office phone lines on 01204 328888. Online orders can be printed at home or downloaded as digital tickets.

Only the Nat Lofthouse (East) Stand lower tier will be open for the fixture depending on demand, and no cash turnstiles will be in operation on the night.

Anyone planning to attend who will require wheelchair access or disability seating should contact the ticket office directly.
